Seth Swirsky and The Red Button

Probably every Power Pop fan agreed that "She's About To Cross My Mind" by the Red Button was one of last year's best Cd's. The talented duo of Seth Swirsky and Mike Ruekberg released a Beatles influenced disc with terrific tunes and sterling production. If for some reason, you were living on a deserted island and missed this one, run (don't walk) to your latest on-line music store and pick it up. You won't be disappointed.

In 2004, Seth Swirsky released his first CD entitled "Instant Pleasure". This one is also a Beatle lovers dream with tunes that could have been lifted right out of Revolver or Sgt. Pepper. Really superb stuff. Its a must as far as I am concerned.

I'm a collector and I've collected some of Seth's demos and b-sides. For me they are also essential tracks however these are all I that I have. I know that I am missing some key tracks. Does anyone have anything missing here?

There are reports that Seth is working on both a Red Button CD AND a new solo CD this year. I can't wait...

You speak my language, sir! Grays, Pugwash, Red Button, Jellyfish...anyone who likes those guys can lead me to new stuff anytime. Your blog is in my feedlist, thanks!btw, are you familiar with Admiral Twin? Their latest "Center of the Universe" is fine power pop, available at eMusic, Amazon, iTunes, etc. I have to put in a plug for them since they are my favorites.Thanks for the great blogging.

Power Pop

What can I say? I love Power Pop. Classic Power Pop - the kind made great by Jellyfish, Wondermints the Candy Butchers, the Wannadies and XTC. There are lots of other kinds of great music out there. But I'm going to concentrate on classic Power Pop here.
